Celebrating Baylor Photography alumnae Ashley “Lillian” Gann (’25) and Katie Carlsen (’24) as they complete their first-year and second-year MFA reviews at UTSA—a significant benchmark in any graduate program.

Their investigations into diverse media, their evolving methodologies, and the clarity emerging in their creative research make us incredibly proud.

Congratulations also to Katie on wrapping up her first semester as an instructor, balancing teaching and studio work with such professionalism.

We are honored to have been part of their journey and can’t wait to see what comes next.
